A New York Times and Infatuation stand-out, as well as a New York Magazine Critics Pick, Essex Restaurant's sophisticated, ingredient-forward menu has tantalized even the most discerning foodies and gourmands.
Grab your $69 pulse (a $145 value) to indulge in a decadent 3 Course Dinner for Two, that includes 1 Starter, 2 Main Courses, 1 Dessert, and 4 House Cocktails, or 1 Bottle of House Red, White, or Rosé Wine at this Lower East Side mainstay.
Begin your delicious feast with the freshest bounties of the sea such as Bluepoint Oysters (shallot mignonette & cocktail sauce) or Grilled Octopus (pimentón yogurt & charred scallion relish). Alternatively, whet your appetite with the Essex Veal Meatballs or Grilled Flatbread (crispy prosciutto, burrata, arugula & pesto) to start your meal off on a high note.
For the main event, Essex uses the highest quality Pat LaFrieda meats and farm-fresh produce from the nearby Essex Street Market to construct their exquisite entrees. The Grilled Angus NY Strip Steak in particular is a must-try, sided by crispy fingerling potatoes, herb salad, and Cafe de Paris butter.
Perfectly paired libations will emphasize each bite, enhancing the bright flavors and adding to the cosmopolitan vibes of your extravagant banquet.
Finally, end the evening with a rich, scrumptious dessert to round out your splendid night out on the town...
Essex Restaurant has been serving fashionable denizens, food connoisseurs, and in-the-know New Yorkers for over two decades, claiming a spot as a Lower East Side pillar of excellent cuisine and exemplary service.
The palatial, loft-style space is decked with high ceilings, twinkling chandeliers, exposed brick, artistic accents, and a convivial, social buzz that sets the tone for your bountiful repast.
As you dig into your first course, cocktails the likes of the Watermelon Spritz Martini or the Spicy Mezcalero will arrive at your table with all the pomp and trimmings - almost too beautiful to sip.
Next, while delighting in your delectable concoction, plates of Seared Arctic Char Salmon served with sugar snap peas, heirloom tomatoes, pea leaf & chermoula sauce as well as Gulf Shrimp Risotto sided by roasted corn, asparagus & onion char, will entice your taste buds.
A decadent dessert follows as you polish off your drinks of choice and luxuriate in your epicurean evening. A memorable meal indeed...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

"This place is excellent! Went for a celebratory dinner and experienced outstanding service, food, and ambiance. The burrata appetizer was beautifully crafted, both visually and flavor wise.

Great experience!"
